Border-vigil volunteers big in spirit, not number - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - April 03, 2005 (Hat Tip: LGF)
Imagine that, the Mexican government protesting that our citizens are defending our boarder against illegal immigrants, not legal, not law abiding, not those using our country's boarder crossings, but those seeking to enter our country illegaly. So, how does Mexico treat illegal immigrants?? Maybe we should take a lesson from them??

The wolf is certainly at the door in Paris. I wonder if the French will act in time or curb this danger. Actually, I believe I know the answer, it will be the same as it was in WWI and WWII.

Veiled Threat
TCS: Tech Central Station - Veiled Threat
You wonder, as citizens of the EU look down their noses at Americans, if they are paying any attention to the state of their own internal affairs. Does the average EU citizen condone the Islamist's treatment of women, or are they simply afraid to face the danger looking them in the face?

OFFICE WORK
I hate office work. I will do almost anything to avoid it. Unfortunately, my accountant suffered a rather severe auto accident and will probably no longer be available to me. I was a part time client and her real job as an accountant for a venture capital firm is becoming much busier and probably quite a bit more exciting. And she will have a fair amount of recovery time. So, today I am doing my accounting.
I am not sure what I dislike about it: paying bills (never seems like enough money in the old checking account), posting invoices (never seem to take in enough money) or just sitting on my butt banging away at the accounting software. Heavy sigh!
Anyway, have done all the damage on the books I can do today, so time to go play!

A basic responsibility of a citizen is to protect the nation. At times, I think our government forgets their job and need a reminder. Unless the government begins to take their job seriously regarding boder control, we can expect to see more of these types of actions being taken by the citizens of this country.

Why on earth would we continue to freely give this organization our blood and treasure without a full, open and continuous acounting of all financial transactions as well as an understanding that its troops and agency officials will treat their charges with basic human respect and dignity. They are accountable to NO ONE! More and more it takes on the posture of the supreme world government all the while plundering the people they are sent to aid. It is either time for a massive overhaul and a conversion to an open entity or it is time to withdraw our support.

I see stories like this and it breaks my heart. The shooter's mom knew he needed medication for his mental stability, that he was drinking and smoking pot. The victim's mom had the shooter IN HER HOME drinking, playing with a gun and threatening to kill her daughter. Hello?? Anyone?? Hello??

" FBI officials this week said they are committed to ensuring that no laws are violated during the border vigil, by either the Minuteman volunteers or those opposed to them. "
Excuse me, entering our country illegaly is, well . . . er . . . . illegal, isn't it???

Oil prices keep barreling upward - The Washington Times: Business - April 02, 2005
This is another story that always surprises me too. Given that we have had a national phobia about energy development, why should it surprise anyone that the price for a resource that is presented as becoming scarce would increase? What would drive the price of crude down would be President Bush's announcement that we are beginning a "Manhattan Project" for energy independence in the US with the goal of being self sufficient within the next 25 years. A goal both doabe and worthy.

More Americans oppose gay 'marriage,' poll finds - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - April 02, 2005
Why is it that in a nation founded on Christian beliefs, and where over 80% of the people are Christian, the fact that the majority of the population oppose gay marriage in "news worthy"?? Yet, time after time this same story is written from a "I can't believe this, but it seems to be true" view point. You would think the liberals would get it eventually.
This issue was one of the major reason for Bush's re-election, particularity in light of the arrogant finding of the Massechuets Supreme Court and their demand for the state legislators to pass laws supporting gay marriage. Both the libs and the judiciary understimate the resistance to gay marriage in this country to their peril.

'Blog Swarm' Stings the FEC (04/02/2005)
The true purpose of McCain-Fiengold was, IMNSHO, to insure incumbants had the upper-hand during the election cycle. If the ability to raise funds by the competitor were limited, the incumbent naturally had the advantage.
After the obvious power of blogs was displayed during the 2004 election, it had become apparent that blogs will have to be limited if incumbents are to maintain their advantage. Bloggers are keeping a watchful eye on the FEC developments, as should all citizens who are interested it free speech.

"Instead of defending human rights, the commission has become an Abusers' Defense Society," Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, said in an interview with The Washington Times.
He said Mr. Annan "is right to conclude that a new council, composed of governments that are genuinely committed to human rights, is the only way to end the travesty."

Really, only governments genuinely committed to human rights?? Honestly, on the human rights panel????? Why the very thought!!

One of the lines we heard immediately following 9/11 was that the US government "failed to connect the dots". Well, the media, experienced foreign relation folks, the military and our intelligence community are painting a heavy black line between the dots of the nuclear threat posed to the world by North Korea and Iran.
This panel discussion should be enough to raise the hair on the back of even the most doubting neck.

The Humane Holocaust By George Neumayr
As I said yesterday, the views are wide concerning the death of Terri Schiavo. George Neumayr is probably as good a representation for the murder point of view as I have seen.
The tragedy of this whole case is beyond comprehension.

Immigration built this country - legal immigration. The process of adding any kind of legitimacy to people violating our borders and our laws sends the wrong message to the world and endangers our security.
A huge burden is being placed on the residents of Mexican border states. The results range from increased crime to the closing of hospitals due to lost revenue treating illegal immigrants.
Michelle Malkin is probably the formost blogger on immigration issues. She has fired up a blog dedicated to the issue of immigration: The Immigration Blog. It is well worth your time to visit and educate yourself on this pressing issue.
I am certainly in favor of brining in new people to our country through immigration. But, I expect them to melt into the pot, not create their own pot, I expect them to come legaly and obey our laws and I expect loyalty to their country of CHOICE rather than their country of birth.

Berger Will Plead Guilty To Taking Classified Paper (washingtonpost.com)
Berger Will Plead Guilty To Taking Classified Paper (washingtonpost.com)
Long ago and far away, I once maintained a security clearance, Top Secret at that. The list of "dos and don'ts" is long, very clear and drummed into the brains of each clearance holder. Sandy Berger knew, without any doubt, that as he stuffed classified material down his undies and in his socks he was committing a felony that would earn him a sizable fine and jail time. Trust me, had I taken documents home, I would still be living off "government assistance".
His punishment - $10,000 fine and 3 year suspension of his clearance. This sends so many wrong messages, I wouldn't even know where to start. It is obvious that the security of our country still takes a back seat to politics.

TNR - talking like THIS about President Bush???
"And he has accomplished this genuinely momentous transformation in ways that virtually the entire foreign affairs clerisy--the cold-blooded Brent Scowcroft realist Republicans and almost all the Democrats--never thought possible. Or, perhaps, in ways some of them thought positively undesirable. Bush, it now seems safe to say, is one of the great surprises in modern U.S. history. "
Break out the skates in Hell, there's a nip in the air!!!
